Explore Bute
Bute has a lot to offer no matter what your interest. Try some fishing on a loch, visit our stately home, do some hillwalking or just relax with a book and take in the view.
About Us
Jane, Kenny and Skye moved to the Isle of Bute in June 2021 taking on the Ardyne Guest House, a well established bed and breakfast on the outskirts of Rothesay. They spend their free time exploring the island with their two dogs Alfie and Elsie, enjoying viewing the wildlife and ever changing scenery on this small but beautiful island.

This unique, for Scotland, castle has a large moat and a great hall. There’s also a dungeon! Ransacked by the Duke of Argyll it’s still an impressive ruin!
Biking , Hiking & Fishing
- Cycling
Bute is perfect for cycling. The circuit of the island on our quiet roads is about 21 miles and none of the hills are too taxing. There are also options for shorter circular routes. Rothesay also has a well equipped bike shop should you need some spares or your bike succumbs to a bit of fatigue. - Walking
There are plenty of lovely beaches for a seaside stroll. For the more ambitious we have the West Island Way, a marked trail that runs the length of the island. More details at www.westislandway.co.uk - Fishing
There is sea fishing off the piers if you want to try for some mackerel. Inland there are lochs to catch rainbow trout and pike. The largest one, Loch Fad is perfect for aspiring fly fishers whilst the more experienced can try Loch Quien for the elusive Brown trout.

Find the Ardyne
The Ardyne is only a few mins by car/taxi from the ferry terminal in Rothesay. In fact, if you are travelling on the Wemyss Bay – Rothesay ferry you’ll pass right by us as you approach the pier.
To get to us turn left at the traffic lights as you exit the ferry terminal and drive around the bay for about 1 mile. We are in the row of Victorian villas about 150m after the entrance to Bogany Road. If you click on and drag the little yellow man symbol on the map below and drop him adjacent to the pink marker on the map, you can get your bearings in Google Streetview.
